Lamb Burgers

• 400g minced lamb,
• 1 medium onion, very finely diced
• 1 tsp salt
• twist of black pepper
• ½ tsp red chilli powder (optional)
• 1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
• 2 tsp garam masala
• Handful mint, finely chopped
• sliced cheese

Method

1. Place the lamb mince in a large bowl and add all the other ingredients and mix together using your hands to ensure all the spices are evenly distributed.
2. Wash hands and rub them with a little oil. This helps to shape the patty and stops the mixture sticking to your hands.
3. Split the mixture into 4 portions and shape each one into a patty
4. Place the burger into a hot griddle, tava or frying pan and cook for 5-10 minutes then turn. Make sure it's cooked through and browned on the outside.
5. Place some sliced cheese on top of the burger and cover with a pan lid for a few seconds to steam. Remove and place on your toasted bun.
6. Serve with any burger accompaniments you like - for me it has to be garlic mushrooms, chilli sauce, salad and red onion rings.
